- Assessing sugarcane production sustainability in Mozambique: integrating the SustenAgro Index approach with the Entropy Weight Method Gabriel Chico Viegas Ana Marta-Costa Rui Fragoso Edgar Cambaza Ingeniería Entropy Sugarcane Sofala province SustenAgro approach Sustainability index Paper aims Assess the sustainability of sugarcane production in Sofala Province, Mozambique, using the SustenAgro Index approach and the Entropy Weight Method.Originality This paper provides several original contributions. First it enhances our understanding about the sustainability of sugarcane production in Mozambique, a topic that has been few studied. Second, it proposes a robust and comprehensive sustainability assessment framework based on the SustenAgro Index tailored to Mozambique. Finally, an innovative solution using an entropy approach is employed to determine the weights of criteria.Research method An intentional sample of 30 sugarcane producers from the districts of Nhamatanda and Búzi was selected. The sustainability indicators and dimensions were weighted using the entropy method, and the sustainability index was determined using the SustenAgro Index approach.Main findings Sugarcane production systems present positive sustainability scores. The social dimension has highest contribution to the sustainability index, followed by the economic and environmental dimension. Inefficient water management and the considerable distance between production fields and the sugar factory, significantly impacts the sustainability of sugarcane production.Implications for theory and practice This article presents a reliable framework for assessing sustainability in sugarcane production, leading policymakers and stakeholders to prioritize critical factors in designing policies and interventions. 2025 artículo científico 0103-6513 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=396781765003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396781765003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396781765003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396781765003/396781765003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396781765003/movil 10.1590/0103-6513.20240124 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3967 Production application/pdf Associação Brasileira de Engenharia de Produção Production (Brasil) Vol.35
